72Nova 116 Report post Posted January 11, 2011 I've yet to eat outstanding chinese or vietnamese food in Ottawa, so I reserve any name dropping as of yet. Have you tried Thu Do for pho? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E.D. man 691 Report post Posted January 12, 2011 Ginsing on sommerset w near preston as a very good combination of traditional chinese and vietamese food, don't look for the canadianized chinese food you won't find it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosseyerie 161 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 The absolute... and I mean... THE BEST... place to get a burger is Burgers and Shakes on Mitch Owens and Limebank. A little bit of a drive but well worth it! They make a great shawarma (shish taouk) too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 Dirienzo's for the Diavolo sandwich--proscuitto, hot calabrese, soppressata, pickled eggplant, dijon mustard and cheese (but I can't remember whih kind). This is my fave sandwich from there, drool! Now I want one!! Without question though, my fave place to eat in Ottawa is The Manx. YUM! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BootyLoving 2441 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 Have you tried Thu Do for pho? Tried it ... I've tried the entire sector there, and started raiding Bank Street, and some in Orleans. Some are passable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fl***gfi***rs Report post Posted February 1, 2011 @Cleo - the Manx is amazing but on a weekend evening you can't get a seat anymore. Try the lamb curry wrap! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VedaSloan 119179 Report post Posted August 27, 2011 Ok, two new places I feel the need to promote (not that they need any help!) HINTONBURGER!!! So fucking good. I have never inhaled a burger faster. It is totally worth $7. Whalesbone. Ok, so unless you like seafood and are a foodie and you have some cash to spend, this is not for you. BUT, if you feel the urge to splurge and you love seafod, you will love Whalesbone. The raw oysters are fresh and delicious and they make a red wine vinaigrette with shalots to go with them that is to die for! I followed that up with an appetizer of smoked mackerel and then scallops with creme fraiche, corn, and blue cheese. I was totally in heaven. But let me warn you, it's not cheap! For two people, we had a bottle of zinfandel, 9 raw oysters, appetizer of smoked mackerel, I had scallops, he had the sardine, then we had dessert (a sundae bar, yo!) and a grappa. Total + tip: $254. Was it worth it? FUCK YES. Plus, the staff is amazing and totally fun. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thx in advance :wink: I don't know if this exactly fits what you had in mind, but dim sum @ the Mandarin Ogilvy is the most excellent in the city, imo. I found good raspberry beer from Belgium in the Market @ Vineyards - Frambozen (or something like that) Haven't seen cherry beer yet though. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's get drunk. Hahaha. I'm not 100%, but I'm about 92% sure, the Vineyards in the Byward Market has a cherry beer. I know they have a blueberry beer. They have like a million different beers from out of the province. They also have numerous different wines. Getting drunk is fun! I'll be off soon to do that, haha. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isabella Gia (Banned) 53881 Report post Posted August 28, 2011 I finally found a place with authentic Mexican food. it was so good I'll share the info with you :tongue: The place is called 'Los tacos de Mauro' and is located in the market, on 349 Dalhousie, right beside Dunn's diner. They have one menu on weekdays and a different one for weekends, they are both great!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigwilly 933 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 Wow what a question, I guess I am a little biased towards restaurants as I am a chef and work in restaurant, but i am also very particular to what I eat and the quality and where the food comes from. Some may be a little expensive but they are worth it. So my favouritie restaurants are: Domus Cafe Social Black Tomato Earl of Sussex Ahora There are a few more but I won't waste everyone's time with reading them all 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
